BioWare has announced that the new Free-to-Play option will be added to its story-driven, massively multiplayer online game Star Wars: The Old Republic next week.

The new Free-to-Play option allows gamers to experience all of the class storylines through to Level 50, the current level cap, at no charge and introduces the new Cartel Market.

Any paying subscribers at the launch of the Free-to-Play option on November 15th will be granted all of the Complimentary Cartel Coins currently listed on the Cartel Coin Ledger page, plus a one-time grant of 250 Complimentary Cartel Coins.

Any former subscribers who reactivate their subscription by the new date of December 20 will be granted Complimentary Cartel Coins for their prior paid months up to November 15.

Star Wars: The Old Republic’s free-to-Play option will be available from November 15th, 2012.
